I was trying to figure out what variety of hipster these cards might be based on. PBR and cabbie hats (and to a lesser extent glasses) are not well represented in LA. I hear from New Yorkers who would know that there are certain incompatibilities with their scene. Maybe these cards were intended to represent some sort of ur-hipster essence, or an amalgam to keep anyone from feeling left out.
But then I thought of Chicago, and it all fits. IT ALL FITS. (And then glossosaurus mentioned Rainbo and I knew it had to be true.) (I guess this this is not inconsistent with the amalgam view, either. Poor, disrespected Chicago.)
Actually Joey DeVilla says that you could fill the card in 5 minutes of walking around his Toronto neighborhood, but that doesn't count for the obvious reason.
